My Memory

Wow! What a year this has been? Or has it ? where did the time go? I still struggle to remember what I did last month or even last week, and I won’t fool myself into thinking that I will be super-human enough to remember what I did 6 months ago! I’m slowly morphing into my grandma, as I reluctantly accept reality that my once reliable brain power is not so “powerful” anymore and l forget things!!!
I forget things that I have no reason to forget! I knew that I was supposed to put gas in the car, it was a part of my plan for tomorrow; except that when tomorrow comes, I forget and the vicious amnesic cycle is thankfully interrupted by the red warning light on the dash board ! Am I supposed to fear the future or embrace it for the challenges it bring? I choose to do the latter, and I vow to cherish the moments as they happen and appreciate the memories if and when they make guest appearances.
So since the last time I blogged, I have been enjoying life. They say life is what you make it, but I say life is making the most of the opportunity you have been given to live!!! Live and live like its your last. I am so grateful for where I am and I know that even though I’m not where I would like to be, I am happy!!! I may forget things, but I am happy! I enjoy living, I enjoy life, I love my family, I love my friends, I love my job, I love life, I love the fact that I can freely tell others that I love them and mean it!!!
I hope I never forget how to love! I hope I never forget to tell the ones I love that I love them! I hope that one day others will know what it is to love someone so much that it seem surreal. I had the opportunity to see my bff a few weeks ago, and she epitomizes love like no other. I had not seen her in 6 years and all the emotions could only be summarized in one word L-O-V-E. Amazing . I am often reminded by another bff famous words “ I love you but God loves you more” and I’m thankful; I hope I never forget to be thankful , well at least not for another 50 years!!
Random thoughts as I give my thoughts an outlet. My brain is in overdrive tonight and I’m embracing the visit, with an aim to restoring the close relationship we once shared.
